Streamline Health's Document Management Solutions to Advance Efficiency and

Improve Customer Service for Franklin County Vital Statistics Office

CINCINNATI, July 8 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- Streamline Health Solutions, Inc. (Nasdaq: STRM) today announced that the Columbus Public Health Vital Statistics Office will implement Streamline Health's document management and workflow solutions using remote hosting services. As part of their plan, the Vital Statistics Office will use Streamline Health's solutions for the storage and retrieval of birth, death and other vital documents and use their workflow solutions to enhance operational efficiencies and customer response time.

The Columbus Vital Statistics Office serves the public of one of Ohio's largest counties, Franklin County, with a population of 1,095,662, according to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2006 Population Estimates. The Vital Statistics Office registers and issues certified copies of Franklin County birth and death certificates, as well as handling corrections and court ordered changes. Currently, the Office maintains its birth and death records on microfilm rolls dating back to 1908 and uses an offsite storage facility for other forms that must be kept according to the City of Columbus retention schedule. The vital documents for an individual are stored according to when the changes take place, so lifetime records are fragmented across various microfilm rolls, making them difficult to locate.

"We sought a document management solution that could handle our large volume of requests, assist us in protecting our clients against identify theft and fraud, provide better tracking of HIPAA accounting of disclosure and enable us to reduce labor-intensive searches," stat
